No way this is a just sentence, he was defending his own against a bunch of drunken idiots intent of doing harm.

In his shoes, I would have likely done the same thing. You protect your family at all costs even if the law is against you.

If he and his family had actually been under an immediate threat I would agree 100%. 

Unfortunately, Mr. White chose to go outside, waving a gun inches from the faces of the unarmed mob, and needlessly escalated a situation that could very easily have been diffused by the police.  He was only placed under a life threat because he chose to escalate the situation.
